You can use a handheld meter with the AI/AIS lenses on a D70, but the meter readings don't translate so directly. You end up looking at histograms alot and reshooting. At least CW metering is so, so much more convenient!!! Leica should at least "chip" their lenses for metering compatibility and ease of shooting without adapters. Avoid the AF issue for now. MF and high quality primes should actually be a "feature" in the marketing the Leica glass to Nikon/Canon owners. The Leica glass could very well be like a "prize possesion" for many Nikon/Canon shooter (like owning a Nikkor 28/1.4 or 105/2 or 17-35 or whatever). Just target and fill the "holes" in the lens lineups. Scott feli wrote: > But what about the whole stop down metering thing?
